ABOUT US

For the last 20 years, Community Outreach Center (COC) has been a key provider of social and housing services, public health and educational programs and workforce development for the greater Rockland County area. We function as a liaison to public agencies, offering guidance and support to our constituents. By assuring access to excellent, cost-effective, comprehensive services, we promote better health and safety for the individuals and families in our care.

Community Outreach Center case managers serve as navigators and advocates for anyone who is in need of financial and social services.
